Nevaeh Akira is reportedly about two weeks away from her due date for her son, Solar Porter. Rather than a calm last lap of her pregnancy, she recently took to the internet to weigh in on new, viral clips of her unborn child’s father, Blueface, and his on-and-off boo, Chrisean Rock. Despite repeatedly denying he is the father of Chrisean Jesus, Blue was on a livestream with the three-year-old son and his mother — all lying in bed together. The apparent family reunion comes amid Jaidyn Alexis calling Blueface a “disappointment” for allegedly not calling their daughter, Journey, on her fourth birthday just days ago.

Blueface Feeds Chrisean Rock’s Son As She Snoozes In Bed

Nevaeh Akira’s shade towards Chrisean Rock started with the viral clips of Blueface seemingly playing daddy to Chrisean Jesus. Before his death in Feb. 2025, Rock’s ex-boyfriend, Ronny Doe, alleged he was the biological dad of Rock’s son. It’s a claim Blueface has pushed several times, including this year. Chrisean has shut down that narrative, maintaining that Blueface is her son’s dad. Most recently, he even claimed she was the one who posted a photo on his profile claiming it was her son.

Despite Blueface’s consistent resistance to claiming CJ, he appeared cozy, feeding the three-year-old in bed during a livestream. More than 9,700 viewers were tuned in as Blue spoon-fed the toddler, who giggled, squealed and pulled away at times. Meanwhile, Chrisean Rock appeared to be in a deep sleep. Other clips show Chrisean Jesus seemingly laughing at cartoons on the TV while Blue used his phone next to him. Swipe below to see the mentioned footage. 

Nevaeh Akira Seemingly Slams Chrisean Rock Over Livestream

As the livestream footage of Blueface and both Chriseans picked up steam, his pregnant girlfriend hopped on a stream of her own. Speaking from inside their shared home, Nevaeh Akira appeared shocked when she received a phone call, allegedly about Blue’s whereabouts.

Later, during that same stream, she was seen speaking to a friend about the situation. Without naming Chrisean Rock, she expressed confusion about someone blasting Blueface as evil, but wanting to be in his face. Akira also popped off about being with her firstborn son, Superior, 24/7.

“I’m with mines 24/7, ain’t never put mines to the side. And if a n*gga ain’t claiming mine, I ain’t gliding with him, sliding with him, kissing him, touching him, f**king him none of that. You heard me? None of that,” Nevaeh Akira said.

Then, she responded to a live comment that said Blueface appears “genuinely happy” with Chrisean Rock. “He ain’t genuinely happy with a motherf**ker that he’s [pushing gesture] the whole f**king time to stay out the f**k camera view,” she said. Akira also questioned why she’s in the loop and his home. She added: “Let dirty and dirty have theyselves at this point ’cause it’s giving that.” In another clip, Akira appeared to call Chrisean Rock a hypocrite. 

“These h*es be hypocrites. B*tch he so evil, why the f**k you in his face? It don’t make sense to me,” she said, before telling her friend, “NoI’m talking ’bout a h*e that’s calling this n*gga evil 24/7 but stay in his face so homey. I’m tired of these b*tches.”

After her friend says that “b*tches are begging for their family back,” Akira agrees and laughs. Later, she acknowledges that her “baby daddy/man” might be treating her “like sh*t” but that’s it’s okay. “N*gga might wake up and treat me right one day,” she said. Adding:

“He just getting his rocks off while I’m pregnant. Cause b*tch imma be back, 2.0 bad b*tch. Hello, and a b*tch got potential, a b*tch just sitting down. Real quiet on the creek h*e. F*ck y’all.”

Another viral clip shows Nevaeh Akira pushing a box out of a room, but it’s unclear if it means she plans to move out.

Okay, so “perfect” is a big word to throw around for a whole list, and it does not mean that these movies have zero flaws if you go looking for them. They are here because, let’s be honest, watch any one of these and try to think of a single change that would actually make it better. You can’t, not really. Every choice, every weird creature design, every slow scene, is doing exactly what it’s supposed to be doing.

A few of these can easily show up on other lists and rightfully so they’re talked about a lot more. Some movies are genuinely great enough to earn a spot no matter what angle you’re ranking them from. So here they are, worst to best, ten fantasy movies that don’t really have a weak spot to poke at.

10

‘The Princess Bride’ (1987)

This movie is just endlessly quotable, and I think that’s actually the best sign a script is doing its job right. Westley (Cary Elwes) and Buttercup (Robin Wright) are the actual love story, but everyone remembers Inigo Montoya (Mandy Patinkin) and his whole “you killed my father, prepare to die” thing way more, because Rob Reiner and William Goldman clearly cared just as much about the side characters as the leads.

It flopped in theaters when it came out, which is wild to think about now, and only became the beloved thing it is once people started renting it on VHS and passing it around. It’s a swordfight movie, a comedy, and a genuine romance all at once, and none of those parts ever get in each other’s way.

9

‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ (2006)

Image via Warner Bros. Pictures

Guillermo del Toro built the Pale Man, one of the creepiest creatures in movie history, entirely as a practical suit worn by Doug Jones, no CGI doing its magic. That’s kind of the whole deal with this movie where every fantasy creature looks like it’s actually standing in the room with Ofelia, because it usually was.

It won three Oscars, for cinematography, makeup, and art direction, and all of those awards were well-deserved. The fantasy stuff and the real-world horror of fascist Spain sit right next to each other the entire runtime, and del Toro never once lets one half feel like it’s just decorating the other.

8

‘The Green Knight’ (2021)

David Lowery made a movie where almost nothing gets explained outright, and it works precisely because he never flinches from that choice. Dev Patel is at his best here yet again as he plays Gawain with real nervous energy, like a guy who knows he’s not ready for what he agreed to, and the whole thing is shot so beautifully you’d watch it with the sound off and still feel something.

Most movies this ambiguous end up frustrating people. This one earns the ambiguity, because every unanswered question feels intentional instead of lazy. That’s a hard needle to thread, and it’s a big part of why this belongs on a perfect list instead of just a good one.

7

‘The Wizard of Oz’ (1939)

The Wizard of Oz is literally everyone’s childhood at this point. The moment Dorothy opens that door and the movie switches from black-and-white Kansas into full color Oz still gets me, and that was an insanely bold technical choice for 1939. Judy Garland carries the whole thing on “Over the Rainbow” alone, honestly.

They actually changed the slippers from silver, like in the book, to ruby red just because red popped better on the new Technicolor film. That’s such a small, practical decision, and it ended up becoming one of the most iconic images in movie history. Almost ninety years later, the effects still hold up in a way a lot of far more expensive fantasy movies don’t.

6

‘Princess Mononoke’ (1997)

Image via Studio Ghibli

Hayao Miyazaki’s team hand-drew something like 144,000 individual frames for this movie, without any shortcuts, and you can feel that effort in every single shot of the forest. San and Ashitaka don’t get a clean, easy love story either, which some people complain about, but that’s exactly why the movie earns its ending instead of just handing you one.

Nobody in this movie is fully good or fully evil, not even the woman literally destroying the forest, and Miyazaki trusts the audience enough to sit with that discomfort; he beautifully painted characters in the grey areas for them to be more realistic.

5

‘Spirited Away’ (2001)

Image via Studio Ghibli

This was the first anime to ever win the Oscar for Best Animated Feature, and it also broke Japan’s all-time box office record for years afterward, which tells you it wasn’t just critics who loved it. Chihiro’s world is packed with stuff like No-Face and the bathhouse spirits, and none of it feels like filler, every creature actually means something by the end.

Miyazaki apparently came up with the idea partly to make something for his friends’ daughters. There were kids who were bored of typical princess stories, and you can feel that specific care in how seriously the movie takes a ten-year-old’s fear and boredom and courage. It is one of the best children movies to exist.

4

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring’ (2001)

Image via New Line Cinema

Peter Jackson shot this whole trilogy back to back in New Zealand with actual mountains and actual forests standing in for Middle-earth, and that groundedness is honestly why the fantasy stuff lands as hard as it does. The locations were real and that made it 100x better. The crew arranged a WETA Workshop built with real armor and real weapons the actors could actually move in, instead of a bunch of CGI.

This first one especially still gets me every time the Fellowship breaks apart at the end, Boromir’s death, Frodo and Sam heading off alone. It’s a long movie and it never once feels like it’s just killing time waiting to get somewhere. The trilogy is the best one to exist and every movie in its feather is just better than the other one.

3

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers’ (2002)

Gollum is the reason this one belongs on a perfect list, honestly. Andy Serkis did full motion-capture performance work for a character that’s mostly just eyes and a voice, and he still made Gollum feel more human, more genuinely torn apart inside, than most fully CGI characters manage today.

Helm’s Deep took months to film and it shows, since it’s still one of the best battle sequences ever put on screen. There was no shaky-cam nonsense hiding bad choreography, and everything was just so beautifully flowing that it genuinely felt like a wholesome cinematic experience. This is the middle chapter of a trilogy, technically the hardest one to make work on its own, and it still holds together completely.

2

‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ (2003)

This movie won eleven Oscars, every single category it was nominated for, which basically never happens, and it earned every one of them. The Battle of Pelennor Fields alone probably took more actual planning than most entire movies get, which is why for most people this one is the best movie in the trilogy.

What really gets me about this one is how much time it spends on the ending after the ending, Frodo coming home and not being able to feel okay again, the Grey Haven, etc. Most trilogies would’ve just cut to credits after the ring gets destroyed. This one trusts you to sit with what the war actually cost everyone first and probably that’s why it still lingers on the minds of viewers.

1

‘The Dark Crystal’ (1982)

Every single character in this movie is a puppet, hand-built and operated by Jim Henson’s team, and there’s not a frame of CGI anywhere near it because it came out in 1982, before that was even an option. Brian Froud designed the Skeksis and the Mystics, and they’re still genuinely unsettling to look at, way darker than anything you’d expect from the Muppets guy.

It’s a kids’ movie that never once talks down to kids, dark tone and all. Jen and Kira’s whole quest has real stakes and danger, and the fact that it still is talked about as one of the most fully realized fantasy worlds ever built, entirely by hand, is why it takes the top spot here.

Toni shared two new photos that appear to capture her wedding day, posing solo in a gorgeous embroidered white wedding gown with her veil pulled back. The singer kept the glam elegant with French-tip nails, sparkling stud earrings, a flawless face beat, and her hair styled in a sleek middle-part updo. And of course, that HUGE diamond ring was front and center, giving all the “I’m a wife” energy as she celebrated the milestone.

Toni Is Giving “Two Years Of Bliss”

Alongside the never-before-seen snaps, Toni captioned the post, “Celebrating two years of bliss. Happy Anniversary 🤍” as she reflected on the couple’s second year of marriage. The intimate photos offer fans another glimpse at the singer’s special day, with Toni keeping the focus on herself and her bridal moment as she commemorates the anniversary.

Toni & Birdman’s Romance Has Been A Whole Journey

Toni Braxton and Bryan “Birdman” Williams’ love story has had folks doing double takes for years. During an exclusive chat with the ‘Today Show,’ Toni opened up about their relationship, revealing that the two had been friends for more than 25 years before their friendship eventually turned into a “love connection.” The couple reportedly tied the knot in August 2024, and Toni recently reflected on their anniversary getaway, sharing that they slipped away to a private spot they use when they want to unplug from the world.

The pair’s relationship had been surrounded by marriage rumors before Toni eventually confirmed Birdman was her husband. On August 8, 2025, she shared a photo of a white floral bouquet alongside her massive diamond ring, captioning it simply, “Happy Anniversary.” The post came after TMZ reported that the couple privately married in 2024 and that Toni had filed for divorce just two days later, but despite the eyebrow-raising report, the couple made it to their first anniversary — and Toni is now celebrating year two.

Roommates, it looks like Latto is staying unbothered after Charleston White hopped in his bag AGAIN! Charleston recently dropped a video claiming he controls the algorithm now after Big Mama chose to drag him online for speaking on her relationship with 21 Savage.

Charleston White Hops Back In His Bag & Latto Keeps Serving Face

Recently, videos surfaced of Latto riding around in a whip while serving face. Big Mama rocked a fresh, soft-glam look with her blonde hair pulled back. She kept the accessories simple with gold jewelry and completed the look with an all-black fit featuring a vest and wide-leg pants. In the caption, Latto told fans she was “on the way to church” while lip-syncing along to Tamia’s ‘So Into You.’ Big Mama’s video comes shortly after Charleston White spun the block on his previous comments about her relationship with 21 Savage. White doubled own on his stance, claiming he controls the algorithm because, according to him, “everybody listens” when he speaks.

Charleston Says He Runs The Internet Amid Big Mama’s Viral Clapback

Charleston White wasn’t done after riling up Latto with his comments about her relationship 21 Savage. He continued to argue that folks give Latto a pass for being with 21, who is allegedly a married man, while Claressa Shields continues to get dragged for being with Papoose, who reportedly remains married to Remy Ma. Charleston also doubled down on his colorism argument, saying he believes the reaction would look completely different if Claressa were a light-skinned woman. He said folks would be real quiet on the creek and Claressa wouldn’t catch nearly as much shade.

In a new video, Charleston doubled down on his previous statements and claimed he controls the algorithm because he got Latto to respond after he accused her of playing house with a married man. He said he hit “checkmate” because his ultimate goal involved getting Claressa into the algorithm and getting people to talk about colorism. Charleston called his approach “provoking thought and evoking emotions” before continuing to cut UP. he added that when it comes to doing exactly that “nobody could ever beat him” because he considers himself the master of it.” 

21 Savage Entered The Chat & Stood TEN Toes Down Behind Big Mama

Fans were looking for 21 Savage after Latto responded to Charleston White’s viral comments, and chile, he swooped right in! The rapper made it LOUD and clear where he stands with just one word. 21 reposted photos Latto shared on Instagram of herself posing alongside their daughter. He captioned the post, “WIFEY!!!” and didn’t have to say much more to make it clear what title Latto holds.

Bachelor in Paradise Joe Amabile is on the mend after undergoing brain surgery.

“So happy to be back home with Joe,” Amabile’s wife, Serena Pitt, wrote via her Instagram Stories on Saturday, August 8, sharing a pic of her husband lounging on a couch in their New York City apartment watching golf.

She continued, “Lots of rest and recovery ahead of us.”

In a follow-up post shared to her feed, Serena wrote, “Incredibly grateful to the team at NYU Langone Health for their endless patience, care, compassion and kindness these past few days. Joe is home recovering, and we’re so grateful to have been in such good hands.”

Joe, 40, underwent surgery last week after doctors found a tumor in his brain.

“They got it all!” Joe wrote via Instagram on Thursday, August 6, alongside a slew of post-op selfies from the hospital.

Serena, 28, had stayed by her husband’s side throughout his hospitalization.

“The best update: they were able to remove the entire tumor,” she gushed via her Instagram Stories later on Thursday. “Joe is recovering really well. We’re feeling so grateful.”

Joe, who met Serena on season 7 of Bachelor in Paradise, revealed his diagnosis last month.

“So a little medical update. I didn’t share my Prenuvo [full body scan] results because they ended up finding a lesion in my brain,” Joe said in a July video shared via Instagram. “Then, I had to go get a brain MRI and there was a blueberry size lesion in my brain that looks to be a glioma, which is a tumor. I now need to get brain surgery next week to get it removed and get it tested.”

The former grocery store owner continued, “And then we’re going to go from there. So it’s been a wild couple weeks. I definitely wasn’t expecting this. I think it’s one of those things where you’re like, ‘Oh, something like this will never happen to me.’ And here I am.”

Joe further noted that the tumor was in the “really early stages” and physicians were hopeful about removing the entirety of it.

Thank You!

Joe Amabile is recovering after undergoing brain surgery. “They got it all!” Joe, 40, jubilantly wrote via Instagram on Thursday, August, 6, alongside several post-op photos. In one snap, the Bachelor in Paradise alum flashed a peace sign to the camera. Amabile’s wife, Serena Pitt, held his hand in a follow-up image shared to her […]

“This past month has been a lot of ups and downs to say the least. After multiple scans and MRIs I have what looks to be an early stage brain tumor,” Joe captioned his upload at the time. “In two weeks I’ll be undergoing a craniotomy to have it removed — yeah brain surgery — @memorialsloankettering. I’m doing my best to stay positive during this time and am lucky to have a lot of support from family and friends.”

Days later, Joe addressed his decision to have brain surgery on an episode of the couple’s “Not Married to This” podcast.

“It was, we’ll never know what this is by just monitoring it. We will only know by taking it out or or biopsying it,” Joe acknowledged. “And from my understanding, they only do biopsies in the brain if removing it is very dangerous. But where mine is located, it seems like it’s a less dangerous scale to remove it. I mean, the surgery is very dangerous. [A] craniotomy … is scary. It’s a serious surgery.”

Kelly Clarkson transformed a potential wardrobe malfunction into an unexpectedly candid celebration of her body during her latest Las Vegas performance. While speaking to the audience at Caesars Palace on Saturday, August 8, Clarkson noticed that her sheer crop top had started riding up. Rather than allowing the moment to interrupt the show, the singer quickly adjusted her outfit and turned the mishap into a comedy routine about her breasts, manifestation, and the dangers of speaking negatively about herself.

5

Clarkson was addressing the crowd when she suddenly realized that her top had shifted. “There’s a lot of amazing things happening, uh oh, there’s my b-obs,” the 44-year-old said as she pulled the garment back down over her midsection.

After noticing the audience’s reaction, Clarkson immediately assured fans that an accidental exposure was unlikely. “They’re too small, they won’t come out. You’re fine,” she joked.

The “Stronger” singer then reconsidered the self-deprecating nature of her comment and declared that her breasts “were perfect.” “They’re not going anywhere,” she stated. “They’re perfect.”

Although the moment began with an outfit adjustment, Clarkson soon found herself explaining why she had become particularly aware of the way she spoke about herself that evening.

The Singer Takes Back Her Self-Deprecating Joke

5

Clarkson revealed that people had been reminding her about the Lion’s Gate Portal, an annual spiritual and astrological event associated with August 8. According to the belief, the alignment of the sun in Leo, Earth, and the star Sirius creates a powerful period for setting intentions and manifesting desired changes.

Clarkson joked that the celestial event made her nervous about allowing even a harmless comment about her body to reach the universe. “I started talking about my b-obs, [and] I got off track,” she admitted. “I’m gonna be honest with you, somebody was like, ‘It’s the Lion’s Gate Portal. It’s 8-8, there’s so much energy out, don’t speak negatively.’ Right when I made a self-deprecating joke, I’m like, ‘Just kidding, universe, my b-obs are awesome!’”

The singer said she had received several warnings the night before about remaining positive and avoiding gossip during the manifestation period. “I got texts all last night, like, ‘Don’t gossip, don’t speak ill of anyone or yourself [to manifest] things out there that you want,’” Clarkson told the audience.

However, she questioned whether that advice should be reserved for one astrological event. “I was like, ‘You’re sure we’re doing this sh-t every day? I don’t know if it should just be tomorrow … or this should be a life thing?’” she continued. “It’s in my head, so as soon as I [shared] self-deprecation, I was like, ‘Just kidding!’”

Kelly Clarkson Jokes About Her Backstage Policy

5

The singer’s attempt to avoid negativity continued as she praised the people working around her during the residency. “I’m just surrounded by so much talent and just cool-a-s people,” Clarkson gushed. “I’m getting too old, [so] I have a no a-sholes allowed policy.”

Realizing that the “universe” might interpret the policy as another negative statement, Clarkson quickly amended her language. She joked that the people excluded by that rule were simply “on a different path” from her.

The lighthearted correction eventually led to a more vulnerable discussion about unhealthy relationships, self-worth and the effects of growing up without positive examples. “It’s a reality for a lot of us,” Clarkson said. “We [weren’t] handed people that found worth in us, like, we deserved better, you know?”

The singer acknowledged how early experiences can affect someone’s relationships later in life. “That’s a tough thing to grow up with, that’s a tough thing to overcome [and] that’s a tough thing to find healthy relationships when you’ve never been shown one,” she continued. “Those are all excuses; I learned that in therapy.”

The Vegas Residency Has Produced Several Unfiltered Moments

5

Saturday’s concert was part of Clarkson’s limited “Studio Sessions” residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace.

The run has given Clarkson space to do more than perform her catalog. Between songs, she has regularly shared personal stories and spontaneous observations with the audience.

Kelly Clarkson Recently Shared A ‘TMI’ Hotel Story

5

The breast jokes arrived only weeks after Clarkson left her Las Vegas audience stunned with an exceptionally graphic hotel bathroom confession. “This is TMI, but I’m gonna go ahead and say it,” she warned before recounting the unpleasant experience.

Clarkson wondered aloud whether she might have contracted cyclosporiasis, a foodborne parasitic illness that had reportedly affected thousands of people. However, she did not say she had received a test or diagnosis, and her speculation should not be interpreted as confirmation that the illness caused her symptoms.

“I don’t know if I got that thing, that, you know, like, people eat lettuce. Sh-t, I don’t know what. I don’t know what the f-ck… But last night during the show, I was like, ‘Oh my God. Jesus,’” she recalled.

Clarkson compared the ordeal to the infamous food-poisoning sequence in “Bridesmaids.” “Bridesmaids ain’t got sh-t on what happened in my room,” she declared. “I was like, ‘Oh, Lord.’ And you know the part where you think it’s over. You’re like, ‘It has to be over.’ No, girl!”

Fans are asking questions after a clip from a recent stream showed Blueface and Chrisean Rock getting pulled over by cops while her son, Chrisean Jr. was in the car. The traffic stop reportedly happened on Saturday, August 8, shortly after Blue performed in San Diego.

Video Shows Blueface & Chrisean Rock’s Intense Run-In With Cops

According to TMZ, Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s intense run-in with the law unfolded during a livestream. The pair had just left Blue’s performance at Blu Temple/Blu Cabana when San Diego police pulled them over. In the footage, cops approach the vehicle and ask Blueface and members of his camera crew to step out. At this time, it’s unclear why police stopped the group, and authorities have not indicated whether anyone received a citation. Despite the tense encounter, Blueface, Chrisean Rock and others eventually walked away from the scene. The livestream also doesn’t confirm whether police arrested Blue or Rock during the encounter.

Blueface’s Latest Moments With Chrisean Jr. Have Fans Talking

Blueface and Chrisean’s run-in with the law comes shortly after clips showed them spending time with Rock’s son, Chrisean Jesus. Although Blue has repeatedly denied being the three-year-old’s father, he recently appeared to get into daddy mode with him during a livestream while Rock slept. Several viewers tuned in as Blue spoon-fed the toddler in bed. Others clips also showed Chrisean Jr. seemingly laughing at cartoons that were playing on the TV while Blue cuddled up next to him.

Nevaeh Akira Found Out About Blue’s Family Festivities & Her Reaction Had Folks Watching

Blueface’s quality time with Chrisean Rock and her son definitely didn’t go unnoticed. Nevaeh Akira quickly reacted after someone put her on game about their family festivities. During a livestream, Nevaeh appeared to react from inside Blue’s home. A friend seemingly filled her in on his recent moves during a phone call, and chile, that conversation appeared to set her OFF. Neveah went on to seemingly drag Rock and Blue’s cozy moments together without mentioning her by name.

“I’m with mines 24/7, ain’t never put mines to the side. And if a n***a ain’t claiming mine, I ain’t gliding with him, sliding with him, kissing him, touching him, f*****g him none of that. You heard me? None of that,” Neveah said.

From there, Nevaeh called out Blue for leaving her at home while she’s pregnant. She said she’s sitting down for now, but once she gives birth to their son Solar Porter, she’s getting right back to making moves. Another video appeared to show her pushing a box out of Blue’s home, but it’s unclear whether she actually moved out. “He just getting his rocks off while I’m pregnant. Cause b***h imma be back, 2.0 bad b***h. Hello, and a b***h got potential, a b***h just sitting down. Real quiet on the creek h*e. F**k y’all.”

Few fantasy books are richer in detail than Cassandra Clare‘s The Mortal Instruments. The six-book series builds a supernatural world centered on Clary Fray, a young woman who discovers she comes from a long line of warriors called Shadowhunters. These half-angel entities protect humans from supernatural threats. The book series was the perfect material for Freeform‘s YA boom, and it was adapted into a TV series that ran for three seasons.

Titled Shadowhunters, the show starred Katherine McNamara as Clary, the young woman at the center of the story whose world changes almost overnight. She embarks on adventures with her friends and acquaintances that she meets along the way as she discovers a hidden world full of supernatural entities like vampires, werewolves, witches, and more. Shadowhunters was a hit for Freeform, with each season gaining more acclaim than the last. The show — which also starred Dominic Sherwood (Jace), Alberto Rosende (Simon), Emeraude Toubia (Isabelle), Matthew Daddario (Alec), Isaiah Mustafa (Luke), Harry Shum Jr. (Magnus), and others — did not overstay its welcome, concluding in 2018.

But before Shadowhunters was a thing, there was another adaptation, this time in a feature film format. Three years before the series premiered, Harald Zwart directed The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. The film starred Lily Collins (Clary), Jamie Campbell Bower (Jace), Robert Sheehan (Simon), Kevin Zegers (Alec), and Lena Headey (Jocelyn). Unfortunately, the 2013 film was not a success critically or commercially. It is rated 14% by critics and 58% by viewers on Rotten Tomatoes. Any subsequent plans for a sequel were scrapped despite a second movie having entered pre-production. The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is now streaming on Netflix after being removed last year.

Why Did ‘City of Bones’ Flop While ‘Shadowhunters’ Thrived?

The difference in their success, despite being adapted from the same material, comes down to the medium. City of Bones did not have the same runway to develop side characters like Simon or Magnus, who ended up becoming hits in the television adaptation. Instead, it focused on the less interesting relationship between Clary and Jace while rushing through other aspects of the story. Back in 2013, Collider’s Matt Goldberg called the film “an interminable slog filled with thinly drawn characters, a ramshackle plot, a laughable love story, and perfunctory mythology that never feels magical.” All seasons of Shadowhunters are available to watch on Hulu in the U.S.

The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones is now streaming on Netflix. Stay tuned to Collider for more updates.

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Dakota Mortensen has gone public with Shania Powell, closing out the summer season with plenty of PDA.

“Soaking up our last bit of summer 🙈🤍,” Shinia wrote via Instagram on Saturday, August 8, sharing a handful of photos from a recent getaway to Island Park, Idaho.

In one snap, Dakota, 33, leaned over to kiss Shinia on a mountaintop overlook. The twosome also cuddled up in other outdoorsy images, sharing big grins as they embraced.

Dakota and Shinia were first romantically linked in July after being spotted together at a baseball game in Utah. The duo previously hooked up during Mormon Wives season 4 — amid Dakota’s tumultuous on-and-off romance with Taylor Frankie Paul. (Shinia was introduced as a friend of Taylor’s pal Miranda McWhorter.)

The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives star Miranda McWhorter is breaking down where she stands with Shinia Powell after her friend slept with Taylor Frankie Paul’s ex Dakota Mortensen. Warning: This post contains spoilers for The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives season 4. “I think the Taylor and Dakota of it all was definitely a […]

“I do just want to say sorry for everything that I did. I know that caused a lot of problems,” Dakota told Taylor, 32, during a FaceTime call on the Hulu show, addressing his history with Shinia. “I’m sorry for hooking up with Shinia. Was it dumb of me? Yes. Could I have picked someone else? Yes. I picked somebody that was obviously going to come with problems, and that was very s***y of me to do.”

Dakota’s fling with Shinia also sparked drama for Taylor and Miranda, 28, whose friendship had only started to get back on track after their now-viral 2021 soft-swinging scandal.

“I think the Taylor and Dakota of it all was definitely a contributing factor, especially since I was very vocal about how her pursuing that relationship would affect her and would affect me,” Miranda exclusively told Us in March. “It felt like it was just blatantly disregarded on multiple occasions. “Also, I understood where Taylor was coming from with her frustration as well. As things continue to play out, I think other things unfolded, and it just made that decision easier.”

Taylor Frankie Paul and Dakota Mortensen‘s complicated romance was thrust into the spotlight on The Secret Lives of Mormon Wives — and their relationship status remains unclear. Before the show premiered on Hulu in September 2024, Taylor and Dakota started dating following her divorce from husband Tate Paul in the wake of a high-profile “soft […]

“Taylor giving me an ultimatum on choosing her or Shinia is frustrating because I’m not your partner and I’m not your child. I’m your friend,” Miranda previously said in a season 4 confessional. “And I’m pretty sure that Taylor is not going to like my decision from where I’m standing right now.”

Taylor and Dakota, who welcomed son Ever in 2024, broke up for good earlier this year amid multiple domestic violence accusations. They each denied the accusations and Utah police declined to press charges. Amid the drama, Taylor temporarily lost custody of Ever, 2, but has since been awarded visitation rights by a judge. She also shares Indy, 8, and Ocean, 6, with ex-husband Tate Paul.

Roomies, Usher had the internet doing a serious double take after footage from his latest ‘R&B’ Tour stop started making its rounds online. What was supposed to be another big night for the eight-time Grammy winner quickly turned into a whole conversation about whether fans were really watching Usher onstage — and the singer eventually had something to say about it.

Usher Said “Y’all Are Funny”

Usher shut down the doppelgänger chatter on Instagram after fan videos from the tour went viral. “😂 Ya’ll are funny…clone? They can’t clone this??” he wrote in comments on Instagram, before adding, “How y’all come up with this? 😂😂😂 AI ain’t that advanced,” making it clear he wasn’t buying the internet’s theory.

So, Why Did Fans Think It Was A Clone?

The speculation started after Usher performed ‘Caught Up’ and ‘Bad Girl’ in an all-white look, complete with a matching baseball hat and sunglasses. Some concertgoers said the man onstage looked different from the Usher they were used to, pointing to his facial features, movements, and even the apparent lack of tattoos on his hands. One fan claimed the real Usher has star tattoos between his thumbs and index fingers, while another joked that the performer was “gusher.” Others admitted they could see Usher but still felt something looked off, sending the viral clip into a full-blown clone debate.

NYC fans were stunned at a recent Usher concert. They claim Usher didn’t look like himself. 👀
